Downing backs McCain
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Arizona Senator John McCain tomorrow will announce a list of about 30 New Hampshire office holders who are backing his presidential bid as former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney attends a day full of events in the state.
While many of the names are recycled from previous announcements, freshman state Senator Mike Downing was among the new supporters.
Downing comes from the heavily Republican border town of Salem. Last fall, McCain campaign with Downing and contributed $1,000 to his campaign.
On Thursday Romney will campaign in Concord, Nashua, Hollis, and Hampstead.
